1 /5 Laura Raymer: Where do I begin...Attempted to open an account online and got told we have a fraud warning on my husbands credit report. We paid the 3 credit bureaus for copies of credit report to see that there is no fraud warning and tyndall had never pulled a credit report. Waited until appointments were available and went into lobby to open account. Because online people wont talk to you until fraud warning falls off of your credit.
Gal at PSJ branch who opened our account was very friendly. She instructed us to go online to set up online banking and sign up for estatements. Getting online access was horrible. Not a simple task. Once again, online chat person VERY unhelpful.
Signed up for estatements is a JOKE! You have to change just about every setting on your computer to come up with a code that you get after scrolling thru the terms and agreement pdf form you have to download. Input code and click agree....nothing happens. You assume you are now signed up for estatements. Until bam, the following month, you get a paper statement and slapped with a service charge for not signing up for estatements. Open another chat online to get the estatements figured out and sorted. Gal gets me signed up for estatements after telling me that I need to type out code and not copy/paste code (which I was) has to be done on computer (Which I was), has to be all caps ( which I was)... Then amazingly the rep was able to sign me up for estatements herself! Why cant this be done when you are opening an account? Would definitely save you and me a lot of time.
Dont get me started on the automatic 14 day hold that gets placed on all deposits (because you are a new member). Checks now clear over night or at most a couple days. 14 days to use my money before I get to use. Doesnt matter that there is funds in savings account to cover check deposited.
Tyndall needs to concentrate more on their customer service and less on tv sponsorship.
Being a new member, I ask myself, why stay? What are they providing for me that I cant get from any other credit union or bank on the same block? Is it worth all the hassles that Tyndall puts you through? I think not!
